So instead of getting "I just voted!" stickers do caucus people get "I JUST CAUCUSED!" stickers? Ive always wondered...

I didn't.

Obama actually will win more delegates from Texas anyway.

If that's due to mining that explains it as North Dakota has a lot of mining too. Anywhere west of Bismarck-Mandan that isn't agrian (OK, might as well just say Williston and Dickinson) is blue collar either in the oil refining/drilling or mining. Makes me mad they didn't release county results.

As I said earlier in the thread, Clinton won all of the mining areas while Obama won the farming areas and the liberal areas.

I'm referring to North Dakota's county results.

My guess is that North Dakota looked something like this:

Ah cool. Thanks.

Looks like Obama landslided among the Sioux and didn't have that much trouble with the counties where only old people live and the blue collar areas. Of course it was a caucus*...

Clinton did better in Mandan than Dickinson? That's interesting.

*Technically it was one of those "firehouse primaries" although with that few polling places it basically ends up the same way. People in outer Burleigh County would've had to driven around 20 miles to vote, some as much as 40.

Working class people living in small, non-union towns in areas with little class warfare do not suck for him.  Voting is about attitude, not purely demographics (outside of the South, that is).  Poor people don't vote like poor people if they don't consider themselves to be poor people.  This is a hard thing to quantify, but it's pretty much an exclusively west-of-the-Mississippi phenomenon.  You also see it in certain parts of rural California.  It will be a huge factor in South Dakota, although not so much Montana (which I can elaborate on too, if you want).

Huge factor in South Dakota?

South Dakota Democrats outside of the Natives and old New Dealers in the rural areas tend to be either latte liberal types who really just want to be latte liberals but can't afford to live like one outside of South Dakota or young recent college graduates/people who never bothered with college who moved there for the cheap cost of living and booming economy (in the urban areas.)

Well it's hard to deny Obama would take Sioux Falls and Rapid City. He's also obviously take Brookings, Aberdeen and Vermillion.

After that it's tough to see how Hilary can close the gap.
